The memorial, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, is situated in Kensington Gardens. It was commissioned by Queen Victoria to commemorated her husband, Prince Albert, who died of typhoid in 1861.
My next two stamps have a French connection although they are both from the USA.

| USA - 28.8.1945 - US soldiers passing the Arc du Triomphe |
The Statue of Liberty appears on many stamps, the one I have chosen to show is the oldest in my collection.

A Lockheed Constellation flies over the Statue and the New York skyline - pity the franking has obscured so much.
